Can you elaborate for me man? Was I stammering? Making bad calls? Going off topic too much? If it's the latter I'll be sure to improve on it.

I stammered and had "disjointed" sentences sometimes especially during the start of the cast because we basically had complications using a program called "Mumble" to cast with. Skype is commonly used by a lot of people and is easy enough but the issue with it is when you talk and someone else is talking the volume auto corrects to have the previous speaker drowned out.

In my headset, I had whatever was coming out on the stream. Doble, his doof doof AND myself. But with a 1 second delay. So basically, whenever I said something it would come back in my headset 1 second later and it completely did my head in. I messed up entire sentences and completely forgot what I was saying more than once because of the repeating audio. This is due to Doble only currently having one audio card, but he is getting a second and will be able to let whoever is co-casting have their own audio stream next time.

I was also using push to talk, which I'm not used to. This is because if my mic was live, due to the single soundcard + mumble setup, the audio would start a feedback loop if I didn't de-activate it after I stopped speaking. Also I think my headset volume was too high, which was coming through the mic as well.

Basically saying if it's the disjointed sentence / stammering / forgetting what I was saying thing; won't happen again. BUT if you're saying I go off topic or make bad calls please say so and give examples as that is something I can definitely strive to improve on.

When i say vague i mean you went off topic and spoke of random things neither on the map or unrelated to the players playing at the time. And to me it really sounded that you were tired and having trouble focusing just on the match, the more tired you get the harder to remain focused on one particular thing and not get distracted.. I wouldn't stress about your casting itself;f as i said i only noticed it late into the cast and only by refreshing yourself or other such methods can it be prevented. The actual casting itself;f was top notch.

Maynarde:

Cool, I wasn't tired I was just being random. Will make a better effort next time :)
